Behind The Bag...

Re-creating a classic - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

This is a great story. Shows what a little creativity, the old Nintendo RBI Baseball game, an emulator, and patience can do. This guy made a video recreating the classic Buckner moment in Red Sox history using the old, old RBI Baseball game and overdubbing the actual audio call from the announcer. Talk about determination too - it took him 200 tries to get Keith Hernandez to hit a ball to centre field to get it right. The best part of the story is that he used the video to show what he could do and got a job as a result.

Thanks to technology and services like YouTube and the internet, just about anybody can create anything and share it with the world nowadays. Pretty cool...

yeah, those old games were pretty good. They seemed to have a high replayability factor.

Hardball 2 was good, but Hardball 3 was the best computer baseball game ever! :)
